👆 Not everything needs to be appified.
I just checked, and I used “please” about 30 times in the last year on lemmy.ml. I live in Burgerland.
Twenty bucks, same as in town.
Mall swords? That’s an apples and oranges comparison.
Intelligence has little to do with it. William F. Buckley Jr. wasn’t stupid.
National Review Is Trying to Rewrite Its Own Racist History
Buckley was a founder of the National Review and, in many respects, the modern conservative movement, who, Stevens wrote, was simply “a more articulate version of the same deep ugliness and bigotry that is the hallmark of Trumpism.”
Correct, the principal is essentially destroyed on payment. Once the loan is payed off, all the money that the bank had originally created has been destroyed.
This is a fundamentally different thing. When you go to pay the fees they charge you, you don’t get to create that money out of thin air.
Back in the day I played Hack until I noticed the sun had risen many times.
Banks don’t actually lend out people’s savings. When they create loans, they create that money out of thin air. And fractional reserve banking (A.K.A. the “money multiplier”) is a myth.
The first step is to understand the media, which Media Bias/Fact Check and the Ad Fontes Media* are never going to teach you. The only people who are taught it are those who get degrees in marketing, public relations, political science, history, and journalism; and even then only some of them.
The new post-Trump/“post-truth” media literacy curricula won’t teach it to you either, because it was paid for and crafted by the US military-industrial complex: New Media Literacy Standards Aim to Combat ‘Truth Decay’.
This week, the RAND Corporation released a new set of media literacy standards designed to support schools in this task.
The standards are part of RAND’s ongoing project on “truth decay”: a phenomenon that RAND researchers describe as “the diminishing role that facts, data, and analysis play in our political and civic discourse.”
None of it is a secret, though, and it can be learned.
* I’ve criticized MBFC & Ad Fontes before:
Dr. Lindsey’s videos are treasure if you’re into English speech minutia or language in general.
It was an instrument used by the burghers in bringing about the end of European feudal lordship, replacing the feudal mode of production with the capitalist one.
Guillotines.
Western corporate media’s wild rumors of GINA spyware > known NSA spyware.
The rise of the suburban mall and its downward spiral are pre-Amazon, and largely had to do with tax decisions and costs to the public sector, though online shopping did accelerate the collapse. Slate, 2017: The Retail Apocalypse Is Suburban

I took a metal detector to the beach once and all I got was antisemitic slurs. I’m not even Jewish; those bigots just assumed so.
It somewhat depends. Is it unionized work? Is it hourly or salary? What type of work, and what are the metrics for quality/quantity of output?
